Full Job Description
Job Description Scope:
Theproject will deliver a secure, user-friendly notification platform thatprovides real-time updates and clear instructions related to courtappearances. The solution will ensure that accused individuals receiveaccurate, timely, and actionable information to reduce no-shows andimprove adherence to court requirements.
TheNotify App project aims to improve and streamline communication foraccused individuals within the judicial process, specifically targetingthe first court appearance stage. This initiative addresses two criticalissues:
Missedcourt appearances due to lack of timely notifications.
Insufficientunderstanding of court protocols, leading to procedural delays andnon-compliance.

Detaileddesign and specification documents for RESTful APIs, including endpoints,request/response models, authentication, and error handling.
Clean,scalable, and secure REST APIs built using Java and Spring Boot, adheringto best practices and company standards.
Modularand decoupled microservices, designed and deployed independently, withclear inter-service communication protocols.
UsingAPIs to develop application based on the business requirement to transformand route data.
Comprehensivetest coverage using tools like JUnit, Mockito, or Test Containers toensure code reliability and prevent regressions.
Efficientrelational database schemas designed and implemented to support API datastorage and retrieval.
Profiledand optimized APIs for response time, memory usage, and throughput,ensuring high performance under load.
SecureAPI calls with proper authentication (e.g., OAuth2, JWT), authorization,input validation, and protection against common vulnerabilities (OWASP).
Dockerizedapplications with configuration files, docker-compose scripts, andKubernetes manifests (if applicable) for smooth deployment.
Integratedmonitoring (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) and logging (e.g., ELK stack,Logstash, or Splunk) for operational visibility.
Produceclear documentation for developed systems such as design, deploymentinstructions, and operational guides.
Regularcode reviews, feedback sessions, and mentorship to junior developers,ensuring code quality and knowledge sharing.
